Renewal Information

Once your company has earned Product Safety Aware (PSA) status, it is valid for two years.

Renewal through continuing education is required every two years and is very easy:

• The company’s PSA Ambassador must complete two hours of product safety education every two years (over the past two years if they become expired)
• The program is completely free and there is no application or fee to renew

If your PSA Ambassador leaves your company, you may designate a new employee. The new employee must have completed the required product safety education hours (covered in the above section) within 30 days in order to be considered a Product Safety Ambassador and for your company to maintain its Product Safety Aware status.
